Over the years there have been a lot of unkind comments about my closest chum, Tim Shaw. Let it be known that I have his back. He’s a great guy and doesn’t deserve the negativity directed towards him. Ant and Dec = Mates.Tim and Fuzz = Mates, only taller. I have your back, Timmy!.

SOS: Real, full restorations?.Yes, from basket case to beautiful. Any other UK based shows doing this?.Not that I know of. Is that the magic?.Nope. It’s the people involved’s stories and personal journeys. Is the workshop a real restoration shop. Yep, owned by the presenters.

Merry Christmas, you lovely people. I hope that it’s a beautiful time for you, or at least bittersweet. But for those who are struggling, I hope that the light at the end of the tunnel is closer than you think. X.

If I look tired at the beginning of this episode, I had literally come straight from the birthing unit at Warwick hospital, following the birth of our daughter, Pixie, that very morning.

Imagine my delight this evening when Karen pitched in with gluing down trees and ground scatter, her first foray into railway modelling. Apparently it’s like Sylvanian Families, but on a smaller scale and the people aren’t hedgehogs. Transport links are better too. #Hornby

I hope that you enjoyed the Mk1 Escort Mexico, this evening. Having learned to drive in my late foster dad's, 1300L, originally fitted with Dunlop Denovos (he was a training manager at Fort Dunlop), I have a soft spot for these, even if they don't seem that old 😀.

Very well done Oscar Townshend!.AAA and an acceptance from LSE!.You worked so very hard for it at Concord College, but it was worth it. Therefore, I lose another of my babies to London. Two academically gifted young people setting out in the world. I'm as proud as Punch. X.

Blimey; 1972 was fifty years ago, so that’s half a century of having my head turned by the old rather than the new. Belated happy new year, all.

I despise trolls; social media, email, text, etc. Be courageous, and expose them for the absolute low-life scum that they are. I’m hearing of far too many folks affected by this. You’re strong! X.

At Trailways, Walsall, underneath my 33ft long, 1969 Daimler Fleetline, we commence lifting the rear axle back into its rightful place. We can’t let these guys retire. Trailways is too valuable to restorers of big stuff.

I'm happy in the knowledge that my 1929 Austin 12/4 has one of the lowest carbon footprints of any vehicle on U.K. roads. Go green. Go vintage.

On this date 40 years ago, I played my first college gig, at Sutton College, aged 14, just four days before my lovely foster dad, Henry Knott, died. He was keen to see me develop my passion, even putting up with band.

Hmm. An amount of people have been vocal about the Specials, but I haven't done a head count. What I do know is that the consolidated viewing figures were extremely high for a Nat Geo show. What I also know is that.

Do you think that the internal combustion engine is dead?.I'm not so sure. Electric power should rule for commercial vehicles (trolleybuses, trolleytrucks), but a rapid clean-up could be achieved by adding hydrogen.
